Do you consider this animal cruelty?

I came across some videos on youtube of japanese/chinese whatever making sashimi
which is raw fish,frogs, and squid and they like to prepare them real quick so that they still move.
these videos have a lot of dislikes

Re: Do you consider this animal cruelty?

That last vid...Probably the only time I've felt bad for a fish

However, IDK, fish consume their pray when it's alive too, however, there is the difference that those people are just being dicks about it and making it more painful for the fish...So IDK, I guess it could be be considered a form of animal cruelty, sure, but the fact is that eating pray alive is pretty common in the animal world...These fish have definitely eaten some alive things in their lifetime

Re: Do you consider this animal cruelty?

I've seen all of these before. Gotta stop going to the weird side of youtube.
Anyway, fun fact: those animals that were twitching were dead. The muscles were just spasming after their deaths, so stop feeling so bad about it. Feel bad for the squids and octopi that are actually eaten alive, if you want.
